The Best Instagram Accounts For Pilates Inspiration

by Peta Serras

8 of my favourite Pilates guru’s for exercise inspiration, fitspiration & workouts you can do at home.

Call me biased, but I think Pilates is the best form of exercise there is. It complements any exercise you’re currently doing, it changes your physique, rehabs any injuries you may have and I would even go as far as saying it will change your life. It’s the reason I created my Pilates Stretching Series.

I start practicing Pilates 15 years ago and completed my Pilates education back in 2008. Pilates has changed my life and I’ve seen first-hand how it’s changed other people’s lives too.

Sometimes we need a little inspiration to start and other times we might need some inspiration to continue doing it. Even I have days where I don’t want to work out.

What always motivates me is to follow people on my social media that inspire me to move. Maybe it’s a well-respected instructor in the industry or someone who just moves beautifully, all I know is it works a treat.

Here are my favourite people and studios to follow on Instagram. Some post videos of workouts you can do at home and others inspire you to move through beautiful images. PS, they’re all properly qualified too! It breaks my heart that there are instructors out there that do a 2 course to make a quick buck!

Sylvia and Breaker have a Pilates studio on the Gold Coast that I’m dying to visit. You can totally tell by the feet, but Sylvia was a dancer and it’s also shown in her beautiful movements and adaptions of many Pilates exercises. I often reference her Instagram to my advanced and dancer clients as someone to aspire to.
